Ex. From the skimming he had given their writings he knew that something like a chemical agent was working in Balzac's defenseless mind, and that the hapless fellow was trying not to succumb to it.

Ex. Much potentially valuable historical material is lost to posterity because of the attitude to the collection of primary sources which always gives pride of place to the ephemeral as long as it is compiled by a well-known figure.

Ex. Even with such a limitation and many later supplementations by various hands, by way of addition, correction and amplification, it falls far short of completeness.

Ex. Note that these provisions do not include research reports which have been prepared within a government agency but specifically authored by an individual = Nótese que estas disposiciones no afectan a informes de investigaciones procedentes de una agencia gubernamental aunque realizados concretamente por un individuo.

Ex. No less prestigious an authority than a Royal Commission was appointed to inquire into the charges brought against the man principally responsible for that volume.

Ex. Enter a brief, plea, or other formal record of one party to a case under the heading for that party.

Ex. Apart from the names of subjects, the names of corporate bodies, persons, chemicals, trade products, and trade names are some other possibilities.

Ex. All the same, I think the incident improbable because he has been represented up till then as a cold, careful character.

Ex. In practice, however, such democratic attitudes among the mighty seem to have as little effect on the behaviour of those who serve them as did the remark made by King George V at his Jubilee in 1935, 'I'm really quite an ordinary sort of chap'.

Ex. Education should relate more effectively to personal development, to individual coping and to the development of the free self.

Note:

Come guida ai diversi usi e significati dell'aggettivo brutto presentati nella voce qui sotto, va specificato che gli equivalenti inglesi distinguono abbastanza nettamente tra il giudizio estetico e quello di valore. - Nel primo caso, l'equivalente diretto di brutto è ugly, ma quest'ultima parola è molto forte (= bruttissimo, decisamente brutto), ed è pertanto sostituibile, con riferimento a cose, da espressioni via via meno forti quali rather ugly, not much to look at o not very nice; con riferimento a persone, si può usare ancora not much to look at, o very ordinary-looking, not at all good-looking (per i maschi) e not very pretty, rather plain o plain (per le femmine). - Nel caso di un giudizio principalmente di valore, l'equivalente più comune è senz'altro bad; si possono usare anche terrible, dreadful e awful, che con l'uso hanno perso il significato forte di un tempo. Si veda la voce qui sotto per ulteriori esempi
